“This is Springfield”

Thousands of people, representing every state in the union, showed up to support Springfield and Haitian-Ohioans in a community Zoom call organized by Red, Wine, and Blue, with support from the Ohio Immigrant Alliance and others.

The event featured Haitian and other Springfield leaders talking about the impact that politicians’ lies have had on their community.

Nearly $120,000 has been raised so far, with all proceeds going to the Haitian Community and Support Center and Springfield City School District.

Said Katie Paris, founder of Red, Wine, and Blue, “What a night. THIS is America. THIS is Ohio. This is Springfield.”
